[webauthn] Pull Request: Don't be so strict about uv with the PRF extension.

agl has just submitted a new pull request for https://github.com/w3c/webauthn:

== Don't be so strict about uv with the PRF extension. ==
Authenticators may have different PRFs for the UV and non-UV case. Thus setting uv=preferred during an assertion is fraught: it doesn't fully specify which PRF to use.

However, while implementing this, I ended up feeling that the prohibition on using uv=preferred was too strong. Sites may reasonably want to use uv=preferred and to take advantage of available PRF results. If the evaluation points are global then this isn't so silly as to justify a prohibition, I suspect.
